If it helps his flexibility while maintaining his strength that has to be good right?  He's so tall and long those pile ups with his legs poking out everywhere scare the hell out of me.  Get limber Cam, if that means lose a small amount of weight so be it.  Just stay healthy.

I am just weary of change when the physical tools are there perfectly fine. Can is already a physical specimen.

Remember when they changed jakes mechanics?

Believe it or not, extra padding does help prevent injury.

that is why everyone is saying that BMI is a bad indicator.

 

I punched in 6'5" and 245 lbs........BMI said overweight.

 

BMI's main application is estimating a rough picture of obesity over a given population.

 

Its failure is when it is applied on an individual by individual basis.

 

BMI fails to accurately assess the difference between fat tissue and lean muscle. i.e. It's terrible to analyze athletes using BMI.

 

BMI doesn't distinguish between body frame types. It also doesn't account for aging. Lastly, you can't even use it to assess risk for diabetes/coronary issues/etc. because it sucks at that too. Measuring your waist is more accurate than BMI when it comes to figuring out disease risk.

 

All in all BMI sucks when you try to apply it to the individual.

I agree 100%.

 

I could show you two people with the exact height and weight.....one has weight in muscle and the other in fat.  BMI looks at them equally.

 

That is why it is a bad tool to use when evaluating someone.

BMI is meant for general population though, average americans.

 

Here is a simpler one. Take your jeans waist size and inseam. If waist size is bigger than inseam.... bad news.

Speed diminishes faster than strength and power. And Cam wasn't what you would call 'doughy' either.

 

Yep I hear ya, it does, but we dont know what weight Cam is dropping from either. I mean no one hear has a month to month scale of his fat to muscle ratio. He has the best trainers at his side, . . guys that get paid almost a million dollars to just keep dudes in perfect shape.

 

Fat isnt a useful thing in any way to a QB, its also not killing him to have 5 extra pounds of it on him when he's already less than 6%. He's 250 not 105. If he says he's shaving off 5 or so, can you seriously say its going to effect him in a poor way?

1. The fact that we're discussing this so seriously is ridiculous.

2. Cam is a noted sugar junkie, and adds giant marshmallows to his bowls of Lucky Charms on top of super-sweet red Koolaid. I'm sure that catches up during the year.

Please tell me you are kidding on that second one.

      Freddie is the Road Warrior. It's not his fault that we can't score.  We are known for taking more shots. We tried less. That and bad luck killed us.THROW THE PUCK AT THE NET.

      The problem is that if you don't have a fully settled QB of the future, you can't take him because it's just going to create a distraction that your young QB doesn't need while you're seeing if they can be your guy.  Then you also can't take him if you have just a full on legit starting QB because Shedeur likely isn't going to sit well with knowing he has no path to playing either. Realistically at this point, only the Rams, Steelers, or maybe the Raiders make sense to take him, anyone else and it just seems like trouble waiting to happen. With the Rams and Steelers, assuming Rodgers ends up there, it would be where he knows he's going to sit for 1 year and then get the chance to take over while learning from a HOFer.  That's a situation I don't think the Sanders family would have an issue with, especially at this point.   The Raiders would be a little similar, but he could get stuck behind Geno for more than just one year.  And think about it, do you really want a frustrated Shedeur living in Las Vegas?   Beyond those 3 teams, I really can't see a situation that is going to not have all sorts of crazy media around it.... so the Cowboys will probably take him, because of course that will happen. In a way, it's Kaepernick all over again.  The media distraction that is going to come with him, especially at this point, isn't worth dealing with for a backup QB. Once the Giants and Saints went with different QB's, it really set this up to happen.
